Twenty years ago we had one belief: that a game could be beautiful, wordless, and still move you.

Every player who floated through flOw, bloomed through Flower, reached the mountain peak through Journey, or found their flock in Sky... you are the heart of everything we do. We couldn't have built any of it without you.

Thank you. Here's to the next 20!
 
I adore Flower and Journey but as far as I'm concerned they havent released a game in 14 years because I hardly ever play MP games, very rarely "free"-to-play and never mobile games.

I know Sky came out on Switch in 2021 and then PS4 and PC a few years after, I installed it on my Switch 2 when I set it up because it was in my games list and I said "whats that, the cover is nice", haven't booted it and just now finding out its a F2P MMO I probably never will.

I really hope they make a new SP game next time, I switched over to Giant Squid to get my fill of Journey style games and Abzu is better for me personally, The Pathless was also superb but has some pretty big flaws - open world is amazing to explore, one of the closest games to BotW/TotK in giving me that wonder of going to far away places I can see and completing open world puzzles with little guidance, but they are too easy and repetitive like BotW/TotK is a lot - and Sword of the Sea was very nice but felt a bit like they were just making a b-game while they prepare their next large title.

I suppose whatever the revenue generated from Sky will tell us what TGC plan to do next, but I'd like if there were more companies making these beautiful SP games I can relax with.

Even if I had friends who game to play these MMOs with I probably wouldn't because for me its about being alone in those worlds.
